Djomeh

Djomeh is a young Afghan working on a small dairy farm in the remote Iranian countryside. With his heart set on a local young woman, Djomeh turns to his employer Mahmoud to act as a chaperon in his pursuit of marriage. It is a bold gesture that crosses all cultural boundaries and forces the two men to tenderly reflect on the difficulties of solitude and the universal need to be loved. The film is an investigation of exile, and was awarded with Cannes’ Caméra d’or.
